A trilogy in reverse order would be such an interesting concept. Imagine how much more depth these characters could have. It could really do a play on the morality system, considering by the end these characters would be hardened criminals. Hell, it would be awesome to see the game end with the heist in Blackwater going south.

I like how Mary Beth tries a bunch of different names to write under but then settles on one when you meet her in the epilogue.

As of Mary’s own notebook, you can tell how she is romaticising running with the gang, how she is running from the Duke instead of pinkertons and how she shouldn’t have ideas above her station, likely inspired by Grimshaw.

The horseshoe by Arthur's bed may also be a token from his horse that he had before the start of the game. I vaguely remember one of the gang members (maybe Charles?) offer his condolences to Arthur about a beloved mare of his that had passed and I think it was implied that it was in the blackwater incident. This comment was made at the very beginning of the game when Arthur had to borrow a horse from one of the other gang members. Many equestrians, even nowadays, often keep a horseshoe as a token of a steed that has passed. Given that the shoe is among other very sentimental tokens this makes the most sense to me.

In beta you wear allowed to keep a copy of every single document in camp but in the end the only one they allowed was Dutch's speech notes and thats probably because the dev in charge of disabling that missed it. You can however get it through an exploit by picking it up, putting it down and quickly opening and closing the photo mode. You just have to be quick.

This game is so good I just can't stop feeling sad when I remember what happens to the gang We knew the gang was disbanded in 1899 back in Red Dead 1 but we didn't know how … how terrible this must have been to John's family before and even his former friends he grew up with We first met Javier, Bill and Dutch as his ennemies, we knew so little about their past, we knew they shared some sort of family past and memories in the gang but now, now we know they were much more than villains to John. I mean, they shared stories, secrets, mistakes, memories. They really were a family. It must have been terrible for all of them, watching the gang falling apart. It was a part of their life. And much more, the gang had members that were little by little forgotten, which adds even more pain. Heartbreaking. I love Red Dead.

I really like the character of Mary-Beth: not only do I think she is very beautiful, but also very good and kind. I thought that, as the story progressed, Arthur might fall in love with her. But his story with Mary is still very beautiful, just as she is beautiful too. In any case, I'm glad I found out those details about Mary-Beth's diary

That Fatherhood and other Dreams is my ultimate favorite song in the game, thank you Strange Man for using it!

Wow! This is really interesting. I've always thought that Reverend Swanson was abusing morphine intravenously. However, he described the drug he was abusing as "that little, sticky, black devil" and "little lumps of Hell". Reverend Swanson wasn't talking about morphine. He wasn't talking about opium either. It is sticky, comes in lumps, but it's dark brown, not black. Since it wasn't morphine, and it wasn't opium, there's only one thing it could be, and it matches his description to a T: black tar heroin. It makes sense for the time period too.

It’s hard to say, heroin was typically used as a pharmaceutical drug around this time and it’s not really known when black tar heroin came to be, black tar is more commonly used as the recreational form of the drug, not as a medicine. It’s more likely just straight up opium as that was the most commonly used and abused drug back then for simply recreational use. I was also surprised that we never seen at least one opium den in the game cause they were all over the place back then and typically there would be at least one or two per city.
